The Honda CBR 650F is usually assembled in Thailand, and later on made available to all across the world.

Honda CBR 650F is the higher engine performance twin brother of the Honda CBR 500R, which is around 2 lacs lesser in price and has a slightly tinier engine. Also, there’s a similar Japanese sibling titled Honda CBR 600RR with four cylinders.
